CALAMBA CITY, Laguna – The Laguna Police Provincial Office (LPPO) secured the top spot in the Calabarzon region’s police offices for three consecutive months, thanks to a string of successful drug busts, crackdowns on illegal gambling operations, and the capture of several notorious fugitives.
Announced by the Regional Police Office (RPO)-Calabarzon on Monday, LPPO maintained its lead in the Unit Performance Evaluation Rating (UPER) with an impressive score of 96.08 percent for February.
Col. Gauvin Mel Unos, the acting director of LPPO, credited the unit’s exceptional performance to a culture of unity and cooperation, fostering a symbiotic relationship between administrative and field personnel.
We are steadfast in our mission to serve and safeguard our communities, and this accolade serves as a catalyst, igniting our passion for continual advancement. We remain steadfast in our pursuit of excellence, ensuring the safety and security of the people of Laguna,” he said on Tuesday.
Other “best” awardees under the LPPO umbrella are the 1st Provincial Mobile Force Company, Biñan Component City Police Station, Santa Cruz Municipal Police Station (MPS), Nagcarlan MPS (Class B MPS) and Majayjay MPS (Class C MPS).
LPPO also topped the UPER in December 2023 and January this year.
“These awards are proof that Laguna PPO continues to enforce the law with honesty and integrity in service for the peaceful and safe province of Laguna. This victory is for the people of Laguna,” the LPPO posted on Facebook. (PNA)
